The rumor that Xbox is finally adding a Platinum-trophy equivalent, a per-game Mythic Achievement, changes how completionists plan their backlog. It also makes cross-platform tracking a real headache. If you play across PlayStation, Xbox, and Steam, no single first-party dashboard covers the full picture, and the numbers in the console UI stop being useful the moment you switch platforms.
We tested seven desktop trophy and achievement trackers that consolidate the whole hunt into one place. All of them work on Windows, most on macOS through a browser, and a couple ship native Linux clients. Here is what earned a place on the taskbar.
What to look for in a trophy tracker
A few criteria separated the good trackers from the ones we uninstalled after a day:
- Cross-platform sync from PSN, Xbox Live, Steam, Nintendo Online (via community imports), and RetroAchievements
- Rarity and value scoring so you know which trophies actually took work
- Backlog planning tools (queue, priority, completion estimates)
- Community leaderboards for the friendly competition part
- Data export in a format you own (CSV, JSON) rather than a walled garden

The apps
1. Exophase, best for a unified cross-platform tracker
Exophase pulls PSN, Xbox Live, Steam, GOG, Retro, and Battle.net completion into one profile. The rarity scoring works across platforms, which finally lets you compare a hard Platinum with a hard 1,000 Gamerscore game on the same axis. The desktop companion app runs in the tray and refreshes when a game logs a new achievement.
Where it falls short: some retro platform imports depend on community-run backend services that occasionally lag by a day.
Pricing:
- Free: full tracker access
- Paid: no paid tier
Platforms: Web, Windows companion, browser add-ins for Firefox and Chrome
Download: Exophase
Bottom line: the default recommendation if your library spans more than one console family.
2. TrueTrophies, best for PlayStation deep-dive with community goals
TrueTrophies for PlayStation turns the trophy list into a scored leaderboard with community-defined goals (in-genre, monthly, yearly) and detailed guides for every game. The Windows client, Trophy Manager, keeps your profile in sync automatically and reads new pops within minutes.
Where it falls short: PlayStation-focused. The Xbox sibling (TrueAchievements) is a separate profile. Ads on the free tier are noticeable.
Pricing:
- Free: full tracker with ads
- Paid: $3/mo Premium removes ads and adds priority sync
Platforms: Web, Windows
Download: TrueTrophies
Bottom line: the deepest PS-native experience outside Sony’s own client.
3. TrueSteamAchievements, best for Steam-only rarity and completion
TrueSteamAchievements is the Steam-only sibling of the TrueGaming network. It focuses on achievement rarity, hardcore stats (perfect games, Steam’s own official rarity), and community completion goals. The dashboard highlights easy Platinum-equivalent runs based on your library.
Where it falls short: Steam only. If you also hunt on PSN or Xbox, you will need a second tool.
Pricing:
- Free: full tracker with ads
- Paid: $3/mo Premium removes ads
Platforms: Web, Windows
Download: TrueSteamAchievements
Bottom line: the choice for Steam-first hunters who like the TrueGaming community.
4. PSNProfiles, best for PS trophy leaderboards and guides
PSNProfiles is the largest community-run PlayStation trophy site, with country and world leaderboards, guide-by-guide walkthroughs, and a session finder for stubborn multiplayer trophies. The unofficial desktop companion, PSNP Sync, keeps the profile fresh without touching the site.
Where it falls short: PlayStation only, and the site occasionally rate-limits scrapers.
Pricing:
- Free: full site
- Paid: no paid tier, donation-supported
Platforms: Web, Windows companion
Download: PSNProfiles
Bottom line: the community-first option if you like a strong social layer around the hunt.
5. Astats, best for Steam rarity and hardcore stats
Astats is a long-running Steam achievement tracker that focuses on the harder end: perfect games, average rarity per profile, and detailed per-game breakdowns. The Windows client can push notifications when a friend earns a rare achievement.
Where it falls short: the UI is dated. If you prefer a modern dashboard, look at TrueSteamAchievements first.
Pricing:
- Free: full features
- Paid: no paid tier
Platforms: Web, Windows
Download: Astats
Bottom line: the tool of choice for Steam hardcore completionists.
6. GG.deals Tracker, best for deals and completion together
GG.deals Tracker overlays a completion tracker on top of the GG.deals price aggregator. You can see which unowned games on your wishlist are on sale AND easy Platinums at the same time. The Windows and browser extension both hook into your Steam and PlayStation profiles.
Where it falls short: less rich as a pure tracker than Exophase or TrueGaming. Focus is deals-first.
Pricing:
- Free: full features
- Paid: no paid tier
Platforms: Web, Windows extension, browser add-in
Download: GG.deals
Bottom line: the pick if you plan the backlog around sales.
7. RetroAchievements, best for retro platform achievements
RetroAchievements is a community-run achievement system for classic consoles played through supported emulators (RetroArch, RALibretro). It supports hundreds of NES, SNES, Genesis, Game Boy, PS1, and other retro titles. Progress syncs to your profile and unlocks community leaderboards.
Where it falls short: emulator-only. Original hardware plays cannot log achievements.
Pricing:
- Free: everything, open source
- Paid: no paid tier
Platforms: Web, Windows, macOS, Linux (via supported emulators)
Download: RetroAchievements
Bottom line: the only game in town if you want achievements on a Super Nintendo cart.
How to pick the right one
If you want a single dashboard across every platform, Exophase is the default. It is the only tool that treats PlayStation, Xbox, Steam, and retro as first-class citizens.
If you only hunt on PlayStation, PSNProfiles or TrueTrophies. PSNProfiles has the community, TrueTrophies has the scoring depth.
If you are Steam-only and love a hardcore leaderboard, Astats. If you prefer a modern UI, TrueSteamAchievements.
If you also chase deals, GG.deals Tracker lets you plan the wallet and the trophy chase at once.
If you play retro on emulators, RetroAchievements is a category of one.
FAQ
Does Xbox have a Platinum trophy equivalent yet? Not as of September 2026, but reporting in September points at a new Mythic Achievement mechanic in a future dashboard update. Third-party trackers already assign a Platinum-equivalent flag to Xbox titles with a 1,000 base Gamerscore completion.
What is the best free trophy tracker for PlayStation? PSNProfiles for community depth, or Exophase if you also play on Steam or Xbox. Both are free.
Can I export my trophy list to a spreadsheet? Exophase and PSNProfiles both offer CSV export. TrueGaming sites offer JSON export on the Premium tier.
Do any trackers support Nintendo Switch achievements? Nintendo does not expose an achievement API, so no first-party tracker can. RetroAchievements covers emulated retro Nintendo games. For Switch native games, community trackers like Grouvee are the closest option.
Is there an open-source trophy tracker? RetroAchievements is fully open source. Most cross-platform trackers are proprietary web apps because they depend on scraping first-party APIs.
